Holocauste

1966 — (FT) (FT) Cloth, small 8vo, 96 pages, in Hebrew. With authors inscription. Includes Illustrations, facsimiles & music. Added title” “A Cat in the Ghetto. ” With a (printed) letter by Eleanor Roosevelt. Originally in Yiddish, and here translated into Hebrew by Indelman, Rachmil Bryks's vivid stories portray Jewish life in the Lodz ghetto and at Auschwitz. In a spare and tragicomic style, they illuminate the small and large absurdities that arise at the limits of human endurance—from the cooking of "roast meat" made of cabbage leaves to the predicament of Jews forced to cooperate in the hierarchy of their own annihilation. Deceptively simple and often humorous, these stories nevertheless mirror Bryks's nuanced view of major moral dilemmas of the period: action vs. Inaction, preserving dignity vs. Survival.
